Prince Harry and Meghan Markle headed for ‘tough’ Christmas as they’re ‘missing’ the royal family: report

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle may be hoping that someday soon the fates will allow they be together with the royal family at Christmas, according to reports.

The holiday is looking to be “bittersweet” for the couple as they are “missing” spending the most wonderful time of year with the royal family, the Mirror reports.

Meanwhile, OK! claims that Harry, 40, is acutely aware that he won’t have anyone from his side with him to enjoy Christmas and regrets that his children, Prince Archie, 5, and Princess Lilibet, 3, won’t get to play with their cousins during the holiday as he did growing up.

“For Harry, it reminds him that he doesn’t have any of his side of the family to celebrate with,” a source reportedly told OK! “The kids won’t be seeing their cousins, and that was one of his favorite things growing up – all the cousins playing together at Sandringham.”

“It may well even hurt seeing all the royals together, going to church and just enjoying each other’s company,” the insider added.

Harry — who has admitted he was “addicted” to reading press reports about his wife — will doubtless see pictures of his older brother William and his sister-in-law Kate joining King Charles, Queen Camilla, and other family members for their traditional Christmas morning walk to St. Mary Magdalene Church whether they attend a holiday service.
